...Introduction for Principles of Chemistry” has made him famous among pre-meds, who laud him for his fun teaching style and know him only as the TF who concludes the final lectures with a song. But in between balancing chemical equations and teaching first-years the solubility equilibrium, McCarty’s found time to pursue his other passion—opera...

The photographs themselves are mechanically arranged on the wall, with the same precision of placement and over-attention to balance and equilibrium.
